It’s 7:48am on Sunday morning. I looked out my window and I saw no people up and down the boulevard. It was a strange sight. Jen and I are getting ready to go to our third Christian Associates staff conference at the DeBron Conference Center in Holland. This will be our third. Two years ago Jen and I were fresh off the jet and still trying to figure out what it was like being in Europe for the first time. And trying to navigate being new to CA. Last year I was a part of the worship team and was running around doing music all the time. When I did get a free moment after working with the band I could never find the guys and never really felt like I connected with people. And on top of this Jen had her short haircut and was a bit not herself.
This year I am excited about a few things. One, every year God does things internally with me and I’m looking forward to seeing what that may be. Two, One of the authors of a really really great book called The Shaping of Things to Come will be a main speaker (the last two years the speakers have been people from within CAI…which is a good thing, but I’m looking forward to hearing from this guy). Three, Klaus and I have planned a football (soccer) tournament and I’m excited to play with my friends from CA. The last two years we’ve not played much sport, so I’m glad that this year will be different.
I’m taking my iSight to the conference and I’m planning on doing some updates via video…so check out the blog this week and you may get to ’see a little taste’ of Staff Conference.
